Chapter 413: Chapter 90: Can He Kill Me Instantly?

The cowboy’s gun draw was fast; his left hand instantly pulled the single-action revolver from the waistband, while his right hand repeatedly flicked the hammer at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

A deep gunshot sound was heard, and nearly ten bullets were fired.

This meant his hand speed surpassed most single dogs... um... No problem.

This technique is called Single-action Rapid-fire Master, with the current world record for single-action rapid-fire being 0.0175 seconds. Firing two bullets into the target with only one gunshot sound. (Science popularization: the record holder, Bob Munden, has passed away)

The cowboy’s strength at the moment was obviously a cut above the rest.

Nine "Small Rocket Ammunition" were fired directly at the puppet master. If any of them even grazed him, he would be blown to smithereens.

However, these dangerous bullets couldn’t get close to the puppet master due to the reappearance of the gel-like air wall.

The nine bullets were trapped in it, and the gel-like air kept reducing their speed. Even with a brilliant jet flame, they gradually slowed down and finally lost all their momentum about thirty centimeters away from the puppet master, leaving only a ripple in the air.

"Are you not aware of your own abilities? This is a secret and knowledge that you and I have discovered together, now you want to take revenge on me?" The puppet master’s expression was somewhat calm, then he shook his head and said: "Sean, since you are here, stay. I want to know how the Mysterious Species obtains physical bodies. You and I can explore the mysteries of life again."

"Heh, do you think I’m an easy kill?" The cowboy retreated slowly: "In this instance, I’m not the only [Player]. If something happens to me... they will know at once."

"That is where you’re foolish! You actually entered the instance space yourself. In here, who can save you?" The puppet master looked regretful, interrupting him, and shook his head slightly: "You have left the Mountain Climbing Ghost, and become a [Player]. But you still want to come back. Is it because you are too confident in yourself or underestimated me? Don’t you know what power I have acquired?"

The cowboy glanced at the red puppet floating in mid-air.

"As for the other [Players] you mentioned, they are your only bargaining chips... Releasing the Mountain Climbing Ghost to attract players was a good move." The puppet master spoke calmly: "After all, there are some [Players] who indeed pursue their own sense of justice. I have seen many. They are resilient yet fragile, simple and dangerous. Chasing their so-called correct beliefs. Even if those beliefs are ridiculous and childish. Most importantly, they are full of rebellion but easily controlled by emotions. However, these people have one commonality.... they’re destined to die young! Since they dare to enter my sanatorium, don’t think about leaving alive."

"You really are confident, is the train your source of power?" The cowboy shook his head slightly, threw the firearm back into the [Backpack], and murmured: "Indeed, I’m no match for him. So, it’s up to you."

The puppet master’s expression changed slightly, as the train was his biggest secret. He was controlling the sanatorium just because of the train, but he didn’t expect the other party to know of its existence.

At the same time, he felt that the temperament of the man in front of him began to change, the familiar feeling was gradually fading.

A strong sense of danger followed.

The man in front of him was gradually transforming into another dangerous existence.

"Who...are you?"

Finally, the puppet master’s calm expression disappeared. He felt that the man in front of him was extremely dangerous!

As the cowboy slowly opened his eyes, his body and face began to change. He whispered to himself: "Don’t worry, I’ll handle the rest."

Then, he looked up at the puppet master, with spatial ripples flickering around him, as his cowboy outfit changed into a black trench coat.

A black trench coat... He is [Great Wall]!

"I’ve finally waited for you to enter the instance. It’s really not easy to deal with you in the real world." The [Great Wall Player] said with a faint smile: "So the question is: in this instance space, who can save you?"

Then, the [Title Skill] activated!

Whalebone opened!

...

"Another investigation completed?"

There were still two Abnormality investigations left on the progress screen, and Li Changhe could complete the nurse’s investigation at any time.

It was nothing more than cleaning up the wrecked setup.

In other words, there was only one investigation left to complete the task and leave the instance.

"Could it be that I’m overthinking?" Li Changhe wondered, as this differed from his expectations.

This sanatorium was obviously related to the [Players], or even an industry controlled by the [Players].

He had inadvertently triggered the task while investigating them due to the Mountain Climbing Ghost, and they must have taken some action.

If they let him complete all of the investigations and leave the instance, their secrets won’t remain hidden.

There were only two choices in front of them.

Either kill him and completely cover up the secret of the sanatorium, making it an unsolved mystery of Qiaodu City.

Or, as fast as possible, eliminate all of their information in the sanatorium and flee immediately.

Simply looking at the packages with body remains found in the courtyard of the sanatorium would be enough to warrant a 10-minute execution.

In dealing with these guys, [Great Wall] never showed mercy.

They couldn’t possibly entrust the secret-keeping to the [Players] upon task completion, could they?

"There’s only one investigation left to complete the task. I can complete this investigation at any time. They can’t be actionless." Li Changhe thought to himself, am I overthinking this? Did they not even enter the instance? Or is it already abandoned? After all, the sanatorium had been closed for some time now.

"It’s also possible that they did it to mislead you [Players] as a countermeasure." Yun Ting’s voice echoed in his mind, "Once you all think the task progress is complete, it will be the most relaxed moment."

"Not likely. Once the task is complete, who knows if anyone will even encounter them before leaving the instance? By then, rushing to attack me in the minute before leaving the instance would be too suspicious. If you say attack me a minute before leaving the instance..." Li Changhe had completed many tasks and encountered quite a few skilled opponents.

Naturally, he wouldn’t easily say, ’can he kill me in one shot?’ the kind of flag-raising remarks.

But... looking at his nearly unchanged physical strength value and energy value. All his trump cards were at hand.

After a moment of silence...

"Can he kill me in one shot?"
